Love Child Pasta

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

I got this when I was searching for a Puttanesca Recipe. It really is great despite the incredibly long list of ingredients. I omitted the part of the recipe that called for a Tbls of oil and used water instead to sauté and also omitted it from the recipe here. If you try it, enjoy!

Love Child Pasta

3/4 cup sliced shallots1/2 cup red onion, sliced thinly1/2 red peppers, thinly slicedhandful or two of olives, cut in 1/21 cup mushrooms, sliced4 cloves garlic or more8 oz chicken seitan (about 1 1/2 cups) in chubby little chunks6 oz bag of spinach4 artichoke hearts, cut a little1 Tbsp capers1/3 cup sundried tomatoes

1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar (for seitan)1 Tbsp white wine (for seitan)juice of 1/2 a lemon1 tsp parsley1 tsp basil1 tsp thyme1/4 tsp red pepper flakes1/2 cup white winesalt and pepper12 oz pasta (cook it)This is gonna be a little loose (we're talking a love child here), but here goes.Heat some water in the pan to sauté the seitan. When it's kinda done, add the tablespoons of the vinegar and the wine. When absorbed/evaporated, remove the seitan.. add a little more oil to the pan if you need it. Start cooking the veggies in this order, adding some when the earlier one is done: shallots and onions, then red peppers, then shrooms and garlic... artichoke hearts, capers, sundried toms, olives. Add the spices to taste ( you may need a little more). Cook a minute, then deglaze with the 1/2 cup wine, add the lemon juice and spinach. Let the wine reduce and the spinach cook, check for salt and pepper, then toss it all with pasta.Super flexible and easy recipe, once your chopping is done.Flexible and easy.. no wonder there is a Love Child.
